Fairfax Kia's Tuesday Maintenance Tip:
Is your car stinky?
Room fresheners often just mask a smell.
-Be sure to use the industrial strength odor eliminators purchased from a home or auto-supply store so they can chemically neutralize the odor and remove it. -Try leaving an open container of baking soda in a smelly car. Sprinkle it on the carpet and under the floor mats, then vacuum up what shows, and where it doesn’t show, leave it.
-An open bag of coffee beans left in the car overnight can also act like a scent filter. Photo: Fairfax Kia's Tuesday Maintenance Tip: Is your car stinky? Room fresheners often just mask a smell.

I had a
wonderful experience at this dealership. In fact, one of the best I have
had at a dealership. It was very simple to drop my car off, get a
shuttle ride back to work and then pick it back up for an oil change.
The service rep even remembered I had taken a shuttle ride and offered
one back, which I didn't need. The oil change was done in less than an
hour (which is unheard of) and they called promptly with no issues.
Great experience. Looking forward to future oil changes if they're all
like this.

Kia Racing Takes 2nd at Inaugural Circuit of the Americas Pirelli World Challenge Event
Mark Wilkins pilots No. 38 turbocharged Optima to Kia’s first podium finish of 2013 season and moves to third place in Driver championship
Like a bull rider in a Texas rodeo, Mark Wilkins grabbed the reins of his No. 38 turbocharged Optima and rode it to a well-deserved and hard-fought second-place finish Sunday in Round Five of the Pirelli World Challenge (PWC) at the world-renowned Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas. The relentless Texas heat wreaked havoc on drivers and tires alike, but Wilkins managed the race well from the driver’s seat and held off Jack Baldwin’s hard-charging Porsche Cayman S for the second step on the podium after a late caution flag bunched up the field of 51 cars with less than 10 minutes to go.
“It was a great weekend for Kia Racing. To grab our first podium of the year feels darn good. The Kinetic crew did an awesome job preparing the No. 38 Optima, and the adjustments they made for Sunday’s race paid dividends,” said Wilkins, who had never driven COTA until this weekend. “We learned a lot from Round Four on Saturday about tire wear, so on Sunday we focused on being patient and more consistent with the car. The Optima performs so well that, naturally, you want to push it, but we had to make sure we had traction left at the end of the race, and I think our results show that we did a good job of tire management on Sunday.”
Wilkins’ podium finish moved him up from fourth to third in the Driver Championship as the series turns to another doubleheader weekend in Detroit at the end of May.
Teammate Nic Jönsson drove his No. 36 turbocharged Optima to fifth place in Round Four on Saturday, following fourth-placed Wilkins across the line. Kia Racing’s momentum continued into Sunday, with the Optimas running third and fourth throughout much of Round Five’s 50-minute contest. With a little over 10 minutes remaining, however, a full-course caution bunched up the field, and on the ensuing restart, Jönsson made heavy contact with the second-place Camaro heading up the hill into turn one. The jarring hit broke the front-right suspension and brake rotor, and Jönsson subsequently collided with the race-leading Camaro, damaging his own car to such an extent that he was unable to continue. Jönsson was credited with a 22nd-place finish and slipped to ninth in the Driver Championship.
“We had a really good car Sunday, and after the caution flag, I felt like we had something for the GTS leaders; I had been saving the tires for the end and this was my chance to make a move,” said Jönsson, who was running third at the time of the incident. “I had a run on the second-place car heading up the hill, but everyone is battling for every inch of race track out there and we just got together. Once that happened, I lost my brakes and couldn’t avoid further contact. It’s unfortunate I collected Lawson while he was in the lead.”
Kia Motors America remains third in the Manufacturer point standings following COTA as the PWC series now turns to the Motor City on May 31-June 2 for Rounds Six and Seven.

"We said why not gave FairFax Kia a try. It's turned out to be the most correct decision we have made." - Eurekarex

Overall Score: 
5

After several
hours game playing with another dealer around the area, my wife and I
had been really exhausted and frustrated, not about the price but the
attitude. Then we said why not gave FairFax Kia a try. It's turned out
to be the most correct decision we have made today. Chris, the salesman,
first asked a number then disappeared for like 20 minutes. While I was
thinking ahh another trick playing dealer, he came back with the deal
and a BRAND NEW car. I was totally amazed because that's the most
efficient dealer I had ever met. At first, I was kind of hesitated
because every dealer tries to make you pay some more. But that isn't the
case in FairFax Kia. When we were doing the paper work, I was chatting
with the Chris, the sales manager and the great lady doing the finance
for us. They are all really friendly and helpful. Now my new 2014 Kia
Forte is parked in front my apartment, I cannot be happier.
